It is called wp-opt-in from http://wp-plugins.net/. It not only slowed my site down to hardly functioning, but it also stopped me from login in at times. Hey Abi,

I mentioned mine further above in a reply to Ben. It is called wp-opt-in from http://wp-plugins.net/. It not only slowed my site down to hardly functioning, but it also stopped me from login in at times.

I didn't have time to research why since I spent a few hours to find out that it was the culprit so I just got rid of it. Next one is yours. Best, Abi Monika,

I had the same plug in problems with 2 of my sites about a month ago and kept my Hosts' tech support on the phone for almost 2 hours till we figured it out. Bad plug in list is a great idea, who's gonna start? Best Regards, Abi Monika,

What I do is just create another 'sub domain' and create a new blog in it. Change fonts, background, css all are done there before I do it on my main site. As for free blog sites, I'm sure you can simply create one for your test purposes. No harm in that I guess. I use a domain hosting.

I wish I knew why they do these things and your idea of a bad plugin list sounds like fun. Kay: a test blog is a great idea. On my old laptop I was using XAMP Lite as an offline version, but since I have my new laptop and windows Vista I've had nothing but problems with it. It just wouldn't work for me, so yesterday I finally downloaded WAMP Server and this seems to work fine. @ Ben: it was a form creation Plugin (wp opt in) that I got from this site http://wp-plugins.net/ @ Navin: yeah, it really sucks when this happens.
